Elmwood Park Tour of Homes and Gardens

The Tour of Homes and Gardens features artwork and sculpture from a diverse array of visual artists, and musical performances ranging from bluegrass to bagpipes.

Founded in the early 20th century, Elmwood Park was Columbia's first suburb. Our historic community reflects a variety of architectural styles, including Queen Anne, Four-Square, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman-influenced bungalows. Elmwood Park was designated a local Architectural Conservation District in 1988, and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

The Elmwood Park Neighborhood Association was organized in 1977 with the goal of promoting continuous improvement of the neighborhood and the livability of the area. The annual Tour of Homes + Gardens was designed to highlight our progress and help raise funds for further improvement projects in both the neighborhood and sponsoring improvement projects in the downtown area.
